Yesalavich - Per Diem Allowance - Travel Between Old and New Duty Stations DIGEST: Employee transferred from Medford to Portland, Oregon (282 miles). He and family arose at 5:00 a.m. and left Medford at 4:30 p.m. after moving company completed loading household goods. Enroute, employee, after traveling approximately 175 miles, stopped overnight in Eugene, Oregon, due to late hour, ground fog on highway, and fatigued condition of family. Employee continued trip on following morning and arrived in Portland at 11:00 a.m. Held, claimant exercised good judgment and prudence in scheduling move. Further, in stopping overnight, employee acted as a prudent person and delay in travel was justifi- able. Therefore, per diem allowance is payable for entire period of travel. A This decision is in response to an appeal by Mr. George A. Yesalavich, an employee of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of the Treasury, from that portion of the Settlement Certificate Z-2802439, dated January 14, 1980, issued by our Claims Division, which disallowed Mr. Yesalavich's claim for additional per diem for expenses incurred by him and his family incident to his permanent change of station. The dis'- allowance was based upon the determination by the agency that the travel could have been accomplished in 8 to 10 hours and that under paragraph l-l.3a, Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) (FPMR 101-7, May 1973), a prudent person traveling on personal business would not have interrupted his travel to obtain lodging for the night. .I
